I am 65 years old and have just reached retirement age and I am receiving my pension. I now have a few coppers spare which allow me to enjoy the simple things in life and do the bits and pieces I’ve always wanted to do. Photography and graphic design are my main interests and pastimes so my Brownie will be coming out and dusted off for a start. Although I have been a website designer for many years I have never actually found time to build my own website so now is the time and this is the start of it, here goes……………

What’s on the site

Well not a lot at the moment, I am just in the process of building the website so it’s just basic stuff. I have a contact form up and running and a bit on the Bio page and that’s about it! I am a classic car aficionado so I will undoubtedly give a lot of space to my massive collection of pictures of some of my favorite cars. At the bottom of this page is the rear end of a Renault Dauphine, the very first car I owned, thanks to my dad. Bottom left is a Mk1 Lotus Cortina which was the third car I owned, second being a Wolseley 1500 that I bought for 40 quid!

Website Design

I have so much material from my days working as a full time web designer, from website themes through to graphic design software that it would be a shame not to put them to good use. Consequently I am going to make a lot of this stuff available online. I guess that some material, particularly WordPress themes have a value so I am just looking at this – how much value they have and how to get paid for them. I will probably change this website to https security and use PayPal.

I’m still open for business and I am a fairly good web designer albeit quite slow, plus I don’t charge a lot of money. Why not give me a call on 01621 858666 or fill in my contact form.

The brilliant Lotus Cortina had a twin cam 1558cc engine based around the Ford block with a couple of great big twin choke Weber carburetors. Very fast car in it’s day and I had lots of fun in mine.

The Renault Dauphine had a rear engine layout with the boot at the front, so to speak. In icy conditions this proved deadly unless you had a bag of cement in the front boot to give it some grip.
